Shock Positions... - J-Dub - 07-04-2007
My First real RC was a REVO...and I got an LSP now too. I want to kind of get the Suspension setup better...but I have NO idea what shock positions do...advice?

More inclined:
softer initial dampening
more progressive dampening
more lateral traction
makes the handling more forgiving
may be better on high-bite tracks, slows down the handling
makes it easier to drive
Less Inclined:
Harder dampening
less lateral traction
makes the car more responsive
usually better suited on technical tracks

So when you are saying 'Inclined' You are referring to the shocks 'laying down'?

Thank you...gonna mess with springs and stuff I have laying around.

so more vertical is more incined, and more horizontal is less inclined?

more vertical is less inclined

Well it appears I have like 1 choice for top position, and 2 for the arms...so I guess Im going to have to leave it how it is...

Ummm....dictionary.com's definition for incline;
1. to deviate from the vertical or horizontal; slant.
So......?

so genius if it is more vertical it is less inclined having less deviation from the vertical duh

an incline (as in treadmill) means it goes from horizontal to inclined......I'm no genius though
